LV - See you tomorrow morning @ Ullapool.

May well try and meet up with the other wanderers from down south, depending on how the day goes.

Sorry guys - got side tracked and ended up clocking up plenty of miles with the guys from the XRV forum, then had to head home, so wasn't able to wander round the coast to meet up with you all.

Looking forward to some stunning pictures and camp fire stories :whistle: ;)

A few photo's from this afternoon . . .

I had to get away early today as I only had a one night pass this time
It was a nice bright start to the morning that turned to rain as I was leaving the camp,it stayed with me
for the first 240 mile's,but the last 70 mile's dried me out :laugh:
I keep hearing about GS 800's doing high mpg,, mine must be a bad one as I used two and a half tank's
to get home :(

WOW, What a great trip!!!! Id just like to say, thanks to everyone who turned up. Fantastic group of people. Great to see old friends and make some new ones.

I'll let someone else write a trip report!!

I know lots and lots of photos and videos were taken, and im sure they will all pop up on here soon.
Before i post a few pics, i'll just mention the weather! We had rain at Kingshouse in Glencoe in the evening, other than that, it was lovely sunshine, virtually no wind, and warm at around 70F all the time.

I took 200 photos, so will probably post some more when others have got their piccys up.

Temp at 6pm at Applecross.
